Earthtec 19A70059OEM Lawn Striping Kit for 50"/54"/60" Deck Zero-Turn Mowers, Compatible with Cub Cadet ZT1/ZT2/ZT3, Troy-Bilt Series & More

What It Is

The Earthtec 19A70059OEM Lawn Striping Kit is an aftermarket accessory designed to create professional-looking stripes on your lawn. It mounts to the rear of zero-turn mowers with 50", 54", or 60" decks, pressing grass down in alternating directions as you mow.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 50", 54", or 60" decks. Measure your deck width before ordering.
• Brand/model: Compatible with Cub Cadet ZT1, ZT2, ZT3 series, plus Troy-Bilt and other select zero-turn models. Check Earthtec’s list for your exact model number.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket part, not genuine Cub Cadet. It may require minor bracket modifications on some models.
• Mounting: Uses existing rear frame holes—no drilling needed on most compatible units. Verify you have clearance behind the deck for the roller assembly.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: With a 3.0/5 rating from only 2 reviews, consistency is unproven. Some users report flimsy brackets or rollers that don’t align perfectly.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate—takes 30–60 minutes. You’ll need basic hand tools (wrenches, socket set). Instructions may be sparse; check online forums for your specific mower.
• Common gotchas: Roller may drag on uneven ground, reducing stripe effect. On 60" decks, the kit can feel heavy and cause slight mower wobble at higher speeds.
• Price vs value: At $68.99, it’s cheaper than OEM striping kits (often $100+), but the lower build quality may mean shorter lifespan or less consistent results.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a compatible Cub Cadet or Troy-Bilt zero-turn and want an affordable way to add stripes without paying OEM prices—but only if you’re comfortable with potential fitment tweaks and moderate quality. Skip it if you need guaranteed durability or a perfect out-of-box fit.
